A girl's outcry to a social worker at her school has resulted in a felony charge against a Houston man, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

Alfonso Gomez, 64, faces a felony charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child, court records show. He was being held Tuesday at the Harris County Jail under a $85,000 bail.

The victim, who is nine, told the school employee that Gomez was sexually assaulting her from April 4, 2011, to June 4, 2011, at a northwest Houston apartment, investigators said. The girl was seven and eight at the time of the alleged assaults.

The victim told Houston police that the assaults occurred when she was alone at the apartment.
